Nowhere to lay down my bones

There stands Billy a gleam in his eye
 DmDm         A#A#    C majorC
One leg short and glass drunk dry
  DmDm      FF       DmDm     FF
He smells like sea shells sleeps under the sky

He'll play that tune til the day he dies

Nobody plays like you

  A#A#        FF    C majorC
And time's been no friend to you or to me

It's sixteen years since we sailed to the sun

Billy what have we done?

Of waters sweet and waters deep
